The Anti-Crimson Tide

So I assembled this look with bits and pieces of things I absolutely love, and I really adored the finished product.  That is, until I realized that I look like something out of Tuscaloosa, Alabama.  Now I know you’re not all from Alabama or from the U.S. for that matter, but most people know that I’m VERY anti-Crimson Tide.  A quick trip to Hibbett Sporting Goods for sneakers a few days ago REALLY reinforced that for me.  So yeah, this look  is covered in Paul “Bear” Bryant, but let’s just ignore that, okay?

I’m a big fan of houndstooth, but I have to wear it in moderation for the reasons stated above.  Nevertheless, I grabbed this awesome houndstooth coat from AOHARU, and I really love it.  It was very easy to fit, and the houndstooth texture is out of this world.  I paired it with this awesome white asian shirt from *ARAI* which I actually found first but Bronson, the sneaky little devil that he is, actually blogged first.  BUGGER!

I decided to wear these adorable gray cropped pants from *COCO*, which are sort of difficult to fit but well worth the effort.  Then I added a splash of color with these gorgeous ribbon slingbacks from G-Field and an adorable red hair flower from fri.day, which I tinted to make darker.  I got this awesome black bag (filled with goodies) as a group gift from [PACADI], and I thought it suited this look just perfectly.  And, of course, my lovely Alyson skin from -Belleza- and super chic Carrie hairstyle from fri.day really finish off the look well.
